Use a Real Profile Photo

The profile photo is the first thing that a potential mate sees of you. Therefore, it is imperative to have a nice photo. Do not fall victim to the urge to put up a fake profile picture. Some people just plain have pictures of someone else on their page. Others use a photo of themselves from years ago. Deception is wrong and counterproductive. When someone chooses to interact with you based on a fake photo, that person will feel deceived. Just be real and hope for the best. You can be more confident in yourself when you know that they like the real you.
